Viciously Yours
"I don't need a line to know what is considered good or bad, but if I did, there isn't a line I wouldn't cross for you."
Rennick:
When Rennick was thirteen, the gods bestowed upon him the name of his fated mate--a human girl. As the sole heir to the Mountain Kingdom, magic bound him to his kingdom until he ascended the throne on his twenty-fifth birthday, and as a human, she couldn't cross the magical barrier separating the humans from the fae. Heartsore and consumed with thoughts of her, he did the only thing he could and sent her anonymous letters and gifts…
Until he crossed the barrier into her kingdom to claim her as his own.
Amelia:
Six months after Amelia's thirteenth birthday, she received a strange letter from a fae boy claiming her as his mate. Humans weren't taught much about the fae, and one look at the horrifying doll meant to be her belated birthday gift solidified her suspicions that someone was playing a cruel joke. Except the letters and odd gifts kept coming. Against her better judgment, Amelia fell in love with her mysterious admirer throughout the years, certain they would never meet. But on her twenty-fifth birthday, her walk to work was interrupted by two familiar words she'd read a million times.
"Hello, love."
PLEASE NOTE: The male main character is obsessed with his mate and does a few morally black things to those he deems a threat to his relationship. There are no shades of grey.

Fae Kings of Eden
In Eden, fate is never a gentle hand, it is a chain, a crown, and sometimes a blade. The Fae Kings of Eden series plunges readers into a realm where gods declare soulmates long before hearts are ready, where fae rulers guard their kingdoms with ruthless devotion, and where love is both salvation and curse.
Each book unravels a different bond: a king who waits years for the human girl promised to him, a crown prince torn between destiny and forbidden desire, sisters divided by the cruelty of prophecy. These romances are steeped in obsession and sacrifice, where longing collides with loyalty and even the strongest must choose between power and the person who holds their heart.
Fae Kings of Eden consists of four books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
